Could you elaborate on this one a bit?

I assume that there are rules that once i_nlink hits 0, it never goesback up again. It seems that a whole bunch (if not all) of theindividual filesystems do things to it. Is it really necessary to gointo all of those looking for the places that i_nlink hits 0? Seemslike it would be an awful lot of patching.
